A little piece of a Paradi 1 Paradise has several meanings. Some like to think of it as heaven or a Utopia, but the students who were in olved in Spring Fling 2002 got a glimpse f, L of UNA as our own little piece of par- | adise. Through the week, students in r di erse groups or organizations participat- ed in activities ranging from relay games to 8 the ever-popular Step Sing. •§. Monday, students pooled their ideas and pulled their friends into the annual GUC window-painting contest. Window painting is no easy task; they sooned learned that ev ' eryone had to work together. That night, hypnotist Michael Anthony showed us exactly how idiotic we could look when we let a man we don ' t know have control over our thoughts. On Tuesday, organizations came out to the Amphitheatre to compete against each other in basic games. In the evening. Outcast came to the square in front of Rivers Hall. Students were asked to do some pretty nasty things like eat raw Spam or even spread it all over their bodies. Wednesday, clubs and organizations participated in the Sidewalk Chalk competi- tion and Fun Flicks. Fun Flicks gave groups of students and even individuals the oppor- tunity to strut their stuff on camera while doing their versions of songs like Going to the Chapel and Baby Baby. Thursday consisted of one hot after- noon of field games. Organizations were divided into three groups as they had been all week — male, female, and co-ed. Students competed in a tug of war, dizzy izzy, three- man race, and many other games. FORCEFUL TUGS, (photos left, above) Students of both sexes give it their all as they fight for the tug-of- war champion titles. CLIMBING TO NEW HEIGHTS. Fearless rock- sealer freshman John McDaniel celebrated Spring Fling on the ROTC Climb A Wall. Thursday ' s activities ended with a reminder of what was to come the following nights— Step Sing 2002. Friday night ' s and Saturday afternoon ' s proved to be by far the best attended and best devel- oped events of Spring Fling. In Step Sing, a fund-raiser for the United Way to help those in need around our community, four sororities, three fraternities, and the BCM competed for bragging rights and the acknowledgment of being the best stepping and singing group out there. Alpha Gam took home second place while Phi Mu took first place in the women ' s division. BCM won first place in the co-ed division. Fiji came in second as ATO came away having taken first in the men ' s and overall. Participants agreed that Spring Fling 2002 was successful in bringing to UNA a little piece of paradise after all. — Carrie Johnson 15
